Scheduled workflows fail post upgrade of VMware Aria Automation/VMware Aria Orchestrator to version 8.18


Issue/Introduction

  • Workflows scheduled in the VMware Aria Orchestrator fail after upgrading to VMware Aria Automation/VMware Aria Orchestrator version 8.18.
  • The same workflows run successfully when executed manually (without scheduling).

Environment

 

  • It affects both Standalone VMware Aria Orchestrator and embedded VMware Aria Orchestrator.

Cause

  • The issue is due to regressions in the VMware vCenter (VC) plugin on VMware Aria Automation/VMware Aria Orchestrator 8.18.

Resolution

  • This is a known issue with the VMware Aria Automation/VMware Aria Orchestrator 8.18 and the workaround is to update the VC plugin on VMware Aria Orchestrator with the latest version (attached with the KB).
  • Alternatively, wait for the official fix in VMware Aria Automation/VMware Aria Orchestrator 8.18.1.

Workaround :

              Note: Take (non-memory) snapshots of the VMware Aria Automation/VMware Aria Orchestrator before proceeding with the below procedure.

              Steps to update the VC plugin : 

    1. Download the plug-in's .dar or .vmoapp file. The .vmoapp file format is preferred. 
       
    2. Log in to the Control Center as root. 
       
    3. Go to the Manage Plug-ins page. 
       
    4. Click Browse and select the plug-in file. 
       
    5. Click Upload. 
       
    6. Review the plug-in information, accept the license agreement, and click Install. 
       
    7. The plug-in will be updated and the orchestrator service will restart. 
       
    8. Start the VMware Aria Orchestrator Configuration interface again. 
       
    9. Click Plug-ins and verify that the status has changed to Installation OK.

  Issue with Aria Automation Custom form Multi Value Picker and Data Grid https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article?articleNumber=345960 Products VMware Aria Suite Issue/Introduction Symptoms: Getting  error " Expected Type String but was Object ", w hen trying to use Complex Types in MultiValue Picker on the Aria for Automation Custom Form. Environment VMware vRealize Automation 8.x Cause This issue has been identified where the problem appears when a single column Multi Value Picker or Data Grid is used. Resolution This is a known issue. There is a workaround.  Workaround: As a workaround, try adding one empty column in the Multivalue picker without filling the options. So we can add one more column without filling the value which will be hidden(there is a button in the designer page that will hide the column). This way the end user will receive the same view.

  The Guardrails of Automation VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0 has redefined private cloud automation. With full-stack automation powered by Ansible and orchestrated through vRealize Orchestrator (vRO), and version-controlled deployments driven by GitOps and CI/CD pipelines, teams can build infrastructure faster than ever.
